Found this tiny writeup by accident. Not much there, but interesting still.

I’ll add that a Cotton Swab fired from a Benjamin Sheridan on one 1 pump hurts….. doesn’t break skin, but it feels like it.

Doesn’t take much does it. I was rather surprised to read here somewhere that it only takes 3 fpe to crack a human skull, I assume that means not actually going thru it, I don’t know. I can’t remember who posted that.
